Transcript of Newt Gingrich on Tavis Smiley Show (PBS) - 9/1/08Tavis: The new book, oil drilling, talk to me about it.

Gingrich: Well, we launched at American Solutions a petition drive called Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less to make the obvious point that if you used America's energy resources and you didn't have to buy oil from Venezuela or Saudi Arabia it'd be a lot less expensive.

We've had 1,500,000 people sign up for our petition at American Solutions, so we've now both written a book - "Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less," which explores the whole energy crisis - it'll be out September 22nd. And then on September 27th, Solution Day, my wife Callista and I are premiering a new movie called "We Have the Power" which shows you both we have the power as people to make the government do the right thing and we have the power as Americans to not be dependent on foreign dictators for energy.
